Ink Minimized Meshed Frequency Selective Surfaces with Increased Optical Transparency for 5G

This study examines the conductive ink minimization of 5G engineered electromagnetic surfaces (EESs) made from meshed conductors. The paper demonstrates that the uniform meshed EES has (considerably) less conductor coverage than a solid metal area version without significantly compromising the performance, with the added benefit of increased optical transparency. Simulated results are presented in support of the novel EES topologies.
